Love Under the Olive Tree

[bunniefuu]

I see a light shine

Wanna let it in from the outside

Feel it on my skin

right away, away, away

Oh

You got what I like

When you're not around,

I don't feel right

I could use you right now

Right away, away, away

Away, away, away

Daylight

Put the sun on me now

I'm gonna soak up

What you're giving

Daylight

There's something about

you when you show up

Oh, I'm living

I come alive, alive, alive every time

When you do, you do, you do, you do

I come alive, alive

when I see you alive

Yes, I do, I do, I do, I do, uh-huh

Grandpa, good, you're here.

Hey.

Did you see the new, flashy

Brandini sign on your way in?

They love reminding people

about their contest wins.

Not this time.

It'll only be fair for

a ranch like Cabella,

where we actually do the

work ourselves, to win.

I know.

Oh.

Oh.

Hi, we didn't

hear you come home.

How could you over the music?

Your mother, your mo...

Your mother signed us up

for, uh, for a dance class,

it's our first day.

Dance class?

Seriously?

May I remind you of our

ill-fated father/daughter dance

in third grade?

A little embarrassment

for my only daughter

was worth it for the

grin on her face.

I mean, it's not

like I was much better.

It's the Cabella curse,

two left feet.

Before you go,

there's something

we need to discuss.

All right.

Ready?

Grandpa has decided it's

time for him to retire.

And I'm gonna take

over Cabella Oil.

Are you sure?

I wanna relax, travel the world,

but my protege here will

continue the Cabella legacy.

This is such wonderful news.

Do you feel like you're ready

for this responsibility, Nicole?

Of course she is.

Grandpa has been

training me my entire life,

and I have big ideas to take

the ranch to the next level.

Beginning with the competition.

You're entering again?

Obviously.

I just don't wanna see

you disappointed, honey.

She can't help herself.

Olive oil is in her blood.

Heck, it may even be her blood.

Adam and I have been studying

new techniques for our recipe,

and I really think we finally

have a shot this year.

Oh, guys, one second.

Granddad, how are you?

Hiya, Jake.

Hey, it's olive-harvest season,

I thought perhaps

you'd like to come down

to Sunset Valley

for the weekend?

- Uh, this weekend?

- I could probably give you

that traditional olive oil

lesson we've been planning.

It's perfect timing,

we're developing our submission

for the annual contest.

Well, you know I'd

love to, uh, but...

But you've got work

to keep you busy.

Yeah, actually I do.

In fact, I'm due

in court right now.

No, of course.

Hey, break a leg.

Thanks, Granddad, I will.

Ready to work on another batch?

Yes, I am.

But first, guess what,

I'm officially in

charge of Cabella.

What?

Oh, my god, that's amazing!

But, wait, I'm not gonna have to

start calling you boss, am I?

Well, technically...

After working

together for six years?

Six years?

Has it been that long?

It was only supposed

to be for a summer

while you apprentice with Frank,

but here I am.

Head ranch hand,

and my best friend.

Well, consider this best

friend thoroughly impressed.

So what are you working on here?

Um, it's my concept for

expanding the tasting facility.

I just, you know, I don't know

if I'm ready to take on

a big renovation like this.

Well, I approve.

Have you found a contractor?

Yep.

And I filed a

construction permit.

I am so proud of you.

Okay, let's get cracking,

because this olive oil contest

isn't gonna win itself.

So let's go.

Yep.

Jake,

congrats on the big win.

Great job.

Thank you, Julie.

Oh.

Of course.

We'll talk later?

Right.

Hey, Mom, great news...

What do you mean,

is Granddad okay?

I'm on my way.

Can you, uh, take

care of this for me?

Okay, before Grandpa

leaves on his vacation,

I wanted to show

you all of my plans

for expanding the ranch.

Wow.

You weren't kidding

about having grand ideas.

Well, it's still

a work in progress,

but this is what I had in mind.

We'd offer the same

tastings we already do,

but on a much bigger scale.

We'd add a terrace with a bistro

and finally showcase

the beautiful view.

Adam had some really great ideas

for its rustic, chic design.

Aww, Adam is such a sweetie.

I don't know why the two

of you aren't together.

I'm hardly his type.

Let's stay focused on the plan.

So, what are your thoughts?

Well, if you can pull it

off, it'll be wonderful.

What do you think, Dad?

I love it.

Really?

Yeah.

Yes.

Mom.

Jake, how was the drive?

What does that matter?

How's Granddad?

Well, you know...

He is perfectly all right.

And I do not need this thing.

Ow!

He fell and broke his arm.

Dad, you're anything

but all right, Dad.

Jake, what on earth

are you doing here?

Well, Mom said you

were in the hospital,

and so I came right away.

Honestly, Eleanor, did you

have to make such a fuss?

Come on, let's get you home.

You were in the hospital.

Oh, I know,

you're a sweet, sweet girl,

but really, there's

nothing wrong with me.

Mom, why did you

make it sound like

he was having a

medical emergency?

Well, I didn't know how

serious his injury was

when I spoke to you.

Besides, I thought that it

might motivate you to come.

You're kidding?

I was frantic.

Well, if you visited more often,

I wouldn't have

to be so creative.

Thanks. What can I do

for you, my good man?

Can I get a cold

brew to go, please?

I'm afraid we only

carry the hard stuff here.

That's fine.

Jake.

- Billy.

- Is that you?

What are you doing

in Sunset Valley?

Yeah, yeah, still here.

Big fish, small

pond, as they say.

Hmm.

I bought this place a few

years back, it's my spot now.

Well, that's great.

You're no slouch either,

look at this getup,

I'm gonna have to

charge you double.

For this service, hardly.

Traitor.

No, no, we are an

equal-opportunity supplier.

We don't take sides here.

Because if you did, you'd

have to choose Cabella.

Hey, Billy.

Hey, I'll go grab your order.

Thanks.

Wow.

You sure clean up nice.

Excuse me?

You don't recognize me?

Bit of a hit to the ego,

but I think I can recover.

Oh, all you had to say was ego

and the memories just came

flooding back.

If it isn't Jake Brandini,

ghost of childhood's past.

You still living with

your folks at the ranch?

Oh, actually, I run Cabella now.

Wow, congrats, I remember

that was always the dream.

You remember something

I said when we were kids?

Uh, I also remember that

time where you tripped and fell

after we raced to the factory.

Yes, but if

memory serves, I won, so...

Yeah, that part, I don't recall.

Oh, no, you don't recall, huh?

No.

Okay.

Well, time sure flies

when you're becoming a

big-time corporate lawyer.

I...

That's, I heard

that's what you do.

Oh, did you?

Uh, thanks, Billy.

Here you go.

Oh, thanks.

Well, that was sure

a blast from the past.

See you in, what,

another 15 years?

Bye, Sticky Nicki.

Nobody calls me that anymore.

So, how long you in town anyway?

Head back to San

Francisco tomorrow.

I guess those tech zillionaires

aren't gonna sue themselves.

Someone's gotta do it.

You know, on my way back,

I noticed the Cabellas are

building near the property line.

Anyway, hey, Granddad,

maybe after breakfast,

you can give me that

lesson we've been planning.

Oh, no, he's on strict

orders to take it easy.

We still don't know

what caused him to fall,

and he shouldn't be

operating any machinery.

Okay.

Well, how about a

stroll of the property?

To the Cabella border and

back, for old times' sake.

Yeah.

I don't know what

ever appealed to you

about going over there.

Not after the way Frank Cabella

treated your grandfather.

Are you guys ever

gonna let that go?

I don't see why your new terrace

has to be so close to

the Brandini border.

How can you handle the

proximity to that family?

Based on the budget,

we can only afford to expand

the existing facility,

not start fresh.

And it should be fine.

I've never seen anyone

from Brandini's over there.

Mr. Cabella,

didn't you guys start

the ranch together?

What went wrong?

Well...

Here we go again.

Right out of the gate,

we were doing better

than we expected.

I wanted to make some big moves.

Raphael was offered a

lucrative opportunity to expand,

so he decided to squeeze me out.

I begged Frank to join in

on the international project,

but he refused.

He started making

deals behind my back.

All I wanted was to confirm

that the offers were sound

before I presented them.

He was willing to

abandon years of friendship

just to build an empire.

He never even let me explain.

So we split up the ranch

and went our separate ways.

To this day,

I've never met anyone

who knew his way around

an olive oil press

better than Frank Cabella.

The Cabellas only

care about being right.

The Brandinis only care

about the bottom line.

Come on.

Let's go for that stroll.

Sure, Granddad.

Hey, I wanna show you

the old map that I found.

Cabellas and that property line.

Are you sure this

map is accurate?

I don't know why it

wouldn't be, why do you ask?

'Cause based on

these property lines,

the border goes right through

that, which is encroachment.

Hmm.

Jake, twice in two days.

Did you, uh, did you come

looking for some quality oil?

Why? Do you stock

Brandini's now?

How do you do, Mr. Brandini?

Hello, Nicole.

So, uh, what's all this?

This is the site

of my future world-renowned

dining and tasting facility.

Well, I'm afraid you

may have to relocate it,

because it appears

to be on our land.

Right through that.

What?

Um, I'll be right back.

Sure.

What brings you by, Raphael?

Well, my grandson has made

a fascinating discovery,

it seems that you

might be in violation

of our original land agreement.

Mr. Cabella, if you could

just take a look at this.

Are you arms the only

thing broken, Raphael?

Violation?

That's absurd.

Your information is way off,

according to this deed,

we have plenty of room.

Well, this deed

hasn't been witnessed.

And there's no way you can

prove its authenticity.

Based on this official map,

your property ends here.

There.

Mm,

here.

There.

Mm,

here.

We have been using

this land for decades.

Well, for now,

you'll have to stop.

An injunction, Jake filed

an injunction against me.

Here's a copy of the complaint,

she shoulda received

it this morning.

She can't proceed with any

of the construction plans

until the matter's resolved.

Look, is this really

something we should pursue?

Of course we should.

An agreement's an agreement,

the Cabellas are required

to adhere to the terms.

So many years have

already gone by.

Do you want me to

cancel my cruise?

No way, you deserve this trip,

plus, there's no chance

that Jake's theory holds up.

I know you'll figure it all out.

Do you still think

I'm good enough

to run this company on my

own? Because I'm afraid.

Oh, my dear, you are

more than good enough.

You're the future

of Cabella Oil.

I'll be back in a couple

of weeks for the court date.

You really wanna do that?

Maybe we can

settle this quietly.

They wouldn't want

the negative publicity

impacting their image.

That's true.

Maybe we can settle

this quietly.

Still working on your

construction plans?

It needs to be ready to go

once we get the green

light from the judge.

And if we don't

get the green light?

I can't let my mind go there.

I already gave a large deposit

to the construction company

before Jake

interrupted everything.

Well, Cabella could

still recover from that.

Maybe,

but I can't let my first big

move be a massive disaster,

I couldn't recover from that.

Okay, well,

before you drive yourself

crazy with the hearing,

let's focus on our

contest submission.

So this batch combines

our buttery texture

that we liked from batch 12

with the concentration

from batch 27.

No, it's still

missing something.

You always say that.

I just, I don't know what

it needs, this is hopeless.

Let's try a slight reduction

of the core temperature

on the next batch.

What would I do without you?

Develop subpar oil?

Yeah.

How's discovery progressing

on the Atkinson copyright case?

Well, the startup we

filed the suit against

definitely infringed

on the graphic, but...

But?

But if we win, the

startup will go bankrupt.

We could negotiate.

No chance.

The partners are really

impressed with you, Jake.

You both have

compelling evidence,

but I can't rule on this

without seeing a forensic

investigation first.

We're willing to do

whatever it takes, Your Honor.

So are we.

Well, even then, it'll

take time and money.

I suggest you find

a private resolution

so I can get back to judging

your olive oil submissions.

Wait,

that's it.

What is, Judge Monroe?

Whichever ranch wins the

contest also wins the land.

With all due respect, Your

Honor, you can't be serious?

Well, you're competing

anyway, aren't you?

This would save you the

trouble of litigation.

This is highly unconventional.

I know, isn't it exciting?

It would speed things up.

But what do you know

about making oil?

How hard can it be?

Why?

Are you afraid of

a little challenge?

Absolutely not.

Then we have a deal?

Deal.

What did I just do?

Did I seriously just bet

the future of the

ranch on a contest?

So it would seem.

What was I thinking?

Just relax, take a deep breath.

No, but if we, if we

lose the competition,

we won't simply be forced

to abandon construction,

I will have failed

my grandpa's belief

that I can take

over this company.

Okay, so we won't.

We won't what?

We won't lose.

You say that like

it is so simple.

Before Jake got to town,

you had all the

confidence in the world.

That was when all

that was at stake

was a trophy and my pride.

A winning submission is

still a winning submission,

no matter the prize.

I just spoke with my boss,

I'm not going back to

San Francisco until after

the contest.

If I'm gonna win this thing,

I'm gonna need to stay here.

Wonderful.

It's about time you

took some interest.

You should ask your

grandfather for some pointers.

And you'll get to

enjoy the Fall Festival,

it's the highlight of the year.

It's one, two, three.

There's forward and

then there's back two...

Top of the morning.

You sound chipper.

Well, a good night's

sleep does wonders.

Thank you. I am off to

town to grab a few things,

then it's back to

the salt mines.

I really think Adam and I are

close to cracking the recipe.

Mm, it's good.

Yep, I think we're really close.

Great.

Maybe we should call my dad

and have him settle

with the Brandinis,

instead of relying on

the results of a contest.

No, no, I won't let them take

advantage of us, not again.

I wish she wasn't so impulsive.

Oh, glad to see

you out, Raphael.

Afternoon, Judge.

Well, I reckon you won't be

golfing with us anytime soon.

Ron Evans.

Jake Brandini.

High school principal,

oil judge extraordinaire.

You know, your

grandfather spends

the better part of 18 holes

just bragging about

your accomplishments.

Is that so?

Well, that's very nice

to hear, Mr. Evans.

We should be on our way,

it would be poor form

for two of the judges

to be seen fraternizing

with the incumbent winner.

Bye now.

Nice to meet you.

You too.

So I spent all night last

night researching oil-making.

I found a surprising number of

online instructional videos.

That's a good start,

but you can't learn

about oil from research,

you have to put

your back into it.

Oh.

Okay then, well, will you

show me around the factory?

I'd love to.

Oh, god.

Oh,

let me give you a hand.

Oh, it's you.

I didn't realize, may I?

Nope.

And I thought nothing was

gonna put a damper on my day.

I will be fine, thanks.

Come on, everyone

knows you're athletic,

there's no need to be a hero.

I don't need you to rescue me,

and I am hardly a

damsel in distress.

That might be the last thing

I'd ever use to describe you.

Come on, Nicki, let me help.

The name is Nicole,

and I would rather

not accept help

from the person causing

me endless grief.

He is inescapable.

I don't see him for 15 years,

and now I can't go 10 minutes

without bumping into him.

Weren't you guys friends

when you were younger?

Not exactly.

He lived in San Francisco,

but he spent summers

here when we were kids,

and we used to meet

up by the border.

All right, so what

was he like growing up?

He always had to

have the best toys,

and then you had to endure a

lecture on all of his rules

before you could play

with any of them.

We should take this

energy, bottle it up,

and see what it

does to our flavor.

I am just frustrated,

it is hard to deal with someone

like him who has it all,

brains, privilege, good looks.

Good looks, huh?

Okay, if you like the

traditionally-handsome guys,

I suppose.

He is, he is not my type.

Uh-huh, well, he

might not be your type,

but would it k*ll you

to get your head out

of the olive press,

go out for a night on the town?

I go out.

Yeah, with me and our friends,

but I mean out

out, as in a date.

That is the last

thing on my mind,

and you should talk.

I just haven't met

anyone interesting yet.

You will, just takes time.

Oh, you have got

to be kidding me.

What are you doing over here?

Oh.

Good afternoon.

I needed somewhere quiet to

work while I stayed here,

so I set up a temporary office.

It also allows me to keep

an eye on my property.

Staying here, as

in Sunset Valley?

Yeah, just until

I win back the land.

You are actually taking

a spin at production,

you sure you even know

what olive oil is made of?

I can work at my job remotely

and prepare for

the contest here.

Two birds, one stone.

Is one of your birds the

culprit responsible for this?

I didn't want you

getting any ideas

about moving forward

with your expansion.

Considering you're here, I

was right to be concerned.

You always did take the

rules a little too liberally.

Okay, if you're referring to

the Sunset Valley Camp

presidential election,

I maintain I used

valid campaign tactics,

you didn't have to

file your grievances.

You shoulda

checked the handbook,

that's all I'm saying.

You are still exactly the same.

You were so upset

with me after that.

Was that why you stopped

coming to meet me here?

Yeah, totally.

Later, Jake.

Bye, Nicole.

Welcome, everyone.

We are kicking off another

fantastic Fall Festival,

so grab an apple cider

while they're still hot.

Oh, uh, I'm afraid that's taken.

And remember, the

final event on day 10

is our very prestigious

olive oil competition,

which is always quite exciting.

So grab a brochure,

we have lots of fun things

lined up over the next 10 days,

including the big race,

the Cornucopia 500.

Oh-oh.

Oh, oh.

Here you go.

Jake.

My VIP finally made it.

Come on, I saved you the

best seat in the house.

Thanks, Billy.

No problem.

Attention, all.

The sign-up for tomorrow's

apple-picking contest

is now open.

Who will be the victor?

Find out tomorrow, right

here in Sunset Valley.

I'm in.

Thank you.

Me too.

Welcome, everyone.

Okay, on my go,

you will have

exactly three minutes

to collect as many

red apples as you can

and bring your

baskets back to me.

That's red apples, no green

apples will be accepted.

Are you taking notes?

Okay, the person with

the heaviest basket

wins a dinner for two at

the Sunset Valley Diner.

Does that dinner

include a bottle of wine?

I might throw in a

bottle for a lucky someone.

On your marks,

get set,

go.

What, are you making

a pie afterwards?

- Why are you being so picky?

- I only want the best.

Oh, so typical.

Slow and steady wins the race.

Timeless saying for a reason.

That's your

one-minute mark, people,

one minute remaining!

You sure you're gonna be

able to handle all of that?

Looks a little precarious.

You're safe, safe,

you're safe, safe.

Oh.

Oh, no.

You're safe, safe,

safe, very good job.

Very safe, safe.

Safe.

And time.

Oh, come on.

Jake, I am very sorry,

but you are disqualified.

Ah, Nicole, half a

bushel, very sad.

Good job, everyone.

Nice apple picking.

Can I have

your attention, please?

With an impressive

22 pounds of apples,

the winner is Adam Caulfield.

What?

The grand prize, good sir.

Hey, at least you

and Nicole both lost.

I guess?

Well, I, for one,

was in no mood for

a Brandini/Cabella

feud-induced argument.

Yeah, but Adam won, so

it's like she won too.

How do you mean?

She's obviously

gonna be his plus-one.

We'll see.

Is your ankle

okay, Sticky Nicki?

I mean Nicole.

Old habits.

You want, uh, you want some ice?

I'm fine, it was just a

little twist, but thank you.

Why do you call her that anyway?

Sticky Nicki?

I thought everyone knew that.

We were doing a

three-legged race,

she was going way too

fast for her own good,

tripped, fell, gum

went flying in the air,

she landed on top of it.

Before we realized,

it was too late,

she had to cut off a

big chunk of her hair.

I remember that summer,

you had to wear

bangs, didn't you?

That was a bad look for you,

you shouldn't do that anymore.

What?

I'm sorry, but it's true.

Yeah.

Yeah, it was.

Hey there.

You kids have fun yesterday?

Sort of, but I didn't win,

and we really could've used

the time to work on the recipe.

Well, you can't work

yourself to the bone,

you should be out

enjoying yourself.

That's what I keep telling her.

You should listen to

your father, he's wise.

Okay, the contest

is seven days away,

I can consider having

some fun after that.

I might even take an

entire day off.

You can make it a spa day.

Have I ever struck you

as a spa-day kinda girl?

You are gonna at least

attend the festival activities,

aren't you?

You always love

this time of year.

Maybe, but,

have you both forgotten

that the future of the

company is at risk?

I promised Grandpa I was

ready to take the reigns,

and I can't let him down.

Whatever the outcome, we

are all here to support you.

Oh, hey, Mom.

Heading out to the factory.

Your father is delighted

at your dedication

to the contest.

Well, I'm glad,

it's time I learned more

about the family business.

Well, you used to

love to run around

and play with the

processing tools.

But once you

started high school,

you decided you didn't

wanna come back here.

Yeah, well, that's why I'm back,

to make up a bit

of that lost time.

We like getting out here

too, it's so peaceful.

So, what's going on

in San Francisco?

Well, you know.

You still seeing

that woman you told me about?

Nah, it didn't work out.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear it.

It's all right,

it's for the best,

more time to focus on work.

Speaking of which,

my firm is sending

over a box of files.

If everything

goes well with this case,

I'll be on track

to make partner.

That's great, Jake.

Yeah.

As long as it makes you happy.

Yeah.

Everyone, this is

my grandson, Jake,

I'll be showing

him around today.

Hello, everyone.

While I'm recovering,

he'll be the front line

for all things production.

This is the centrifuge

that extracts the

oil from the olives.

Bottling and labeling.

Boxing and crating.

Oh, don't worry, you'll

get the hang of it.

We all have to start somewhere.

You've always said you

wanted to learn this,

I just wish I didn't

have this busted wing

so I could give

you the real lesson

on the traditional press.

There's so much

more to this operation

than I ever realized.

Yeah, it's a lotta hard work,

but I've always enjoyed it.

I can see why.

Thanks, Granddad.

I should get back to my case.

Okay.

How's the tasting going?

Everyone seems to

be having a nice time.

Hey, where'd this come from?

I brought it

in from the living room

for a little motivation.

And what's this bottle here?

That is the Cabella Sunset,

it was the very first

recipe I helped develop.

Wow.

I'd like to try that.

Unfortunately, it

was a limited batch

we made using the antique press.

Well, at least you still

get to bust out the old girl

for your small-batch lessons.

Yeah.

I saw a bunch of people

leaving here earlier.

I was hosting a tasting for

a small group of tourists.

But when my expansion

plan goes through...

If.

When it goes through,

it will allow for

much larger groups.

So,

why here?

It's my favorite place

on the entire ranch,

because it has the

perfect sunset view.

The only place that

the Brandini factory

doesn't get in the way.

So you're blaming

me for that now?

I was just answering

your question.

Mm.

Why do you care about

this land so much?

I just wanna do what's

right for my family,

make them proud.

But you don't,

you don't know anything

about oil production.

That may be,

but every company needs strong

leadership and management.

That, I can do,

with my business acumen.

Did you seriously just

say acumen about yourself?

I have acumen to spare.

Okay.

I do wish I'd had more

hands-on experience.

And I regret how little

time I spent at the ranch

since we were kids.

You're right,

it is beautiful here.

Just...

Okay, just promise me one thing,

if you win...

When.

If.

You make sure that

nothing gets in the way

of this perfect view.

I promise.

Table 12.

Hey.

You stalking me?

Wow.

Good morning to you too.

I will have my usual, Billy.

And just so you know,

this is my go-to place,

so who is stalking who?

Here you go.

Thank you.

Everything okay?

Yeah, uh, two servers called

in sick this morning, so...

I can help out, it'll

be like old times.

Thank you.

You used to work here?

During high school,

she was the permanent

employee of the month.

Oh, well, then I

can lend a hand too.

Oh.

Wow, Jake Brandini

doing hard labor.

That I've gotta see.

You're on.

Uh, okay, let's get to work.

Let's go.

Apple pie, order up!

That's for me.

That's mine.

Thank you.

Uh, I will go get

you another one, sir.

Thank you for your patience,

this is on the house.

Thank you, Nicole.

Unbelievable.

Huh, a little greasing of the

wheel never hurt, I suppose.

Are you accusing me

of greasing the wheel?

Hey...

I think we both

know you deserve that.

Thank you.

I will get you another one.

Great.

Jake, what are you doing here?

Trying to increase

the bitterness.

Bitter is a positive, who knew?

Very good.

Winning this year is

more important than ever.

I know.

Six days left to get it right.

It's also key we stay aware

of what's happening

in the industry.

You mean check

out the competition?

In so many words.

Just ensure we're

leading trends,

not falling behind on them.

Hmm.

Welcome, everyone.

Today, we'll be using the

traditional olive oil press,

and when we're done,

you'll leave with your

own, personal blend.

Apologies for my

t*rd, everyone.

- Uh...

- Oh, please, continue.

No, I'm afraid

we're fully booked.

I think I just snagged

the last spot, online.

Everyone, please take

your place at a station.

No, you can't be here.

Why not? I'm a

paying customer.

Is there a problem with

my confirmation email?

Okay, yep, fine, fine.

Thank you.

The technique I'm

about to teach you

was developed by

Cabella Oil's founder,

and my grandpa, Frank.

Question.

Don't you mean Raphael Brandini?

We're visiting

Brandini tomorrow.

Oh, that, that

won't be necessary.

You're gonna learn everything

you need right here.

I'm gonna post this,

should I tag you?

Don't bother, Nicole

doesn't have social media.

She's old-school.

And how would you know?

Huh?

Oh, um...

Making olive oil shouldn't

be done by a formula.

You have to follow

your instincts.

Look.

See?

It's perfect.

Good job.

That consistency is really nice.

Thank you.

How am I doing, teach?

You might wanna infuse

more herbs for flavor,

but it's...

It's quite nice.

You did a

lovely job.

That was really hard

for you to say, wasn't it?

It was, yeah.

You're here at a

very scenic time,

because tomorrow,

all of the olives will actually

be harvested from the trees.

What are you building here?

We are expanding.

Oh, hey, Granddad.

Here, have a seat.

Listen,

you and Maxwell need to stop

treating me like an invalid.

You sure you don't need to

get back to San Francisco?

Nope, I promised I'd stay

until I cleared out the dispute.

Ah.

And you are the one who says

Brandinis always

keep their word.

So where'd you get that?

Oh.

It's, um...

I took a class,

at the Cabellas'.

I figured that

since you couldn't

give me the lesson yourself,

I would surprise you.

So, surprise.

Spending some time

with Nicole again, huh?

Just like when you were kids.

You knew?

Of course I knew.

You used to come back from

your little adventures

happy as a clam.

I never told your father,

because I knew he'd

put a stop to it.

And you didn't mind?

No.

I was glad you weren't burdened

by my conflict with Frank,

it had nothing to do

with you children.

Try this.

Oh, that's excellent.

Mm.

A nutty and very

harmonious flavor.

It actually reminds me

of the original batch

that Frank and I

developed together.

He must've taught Nicole well.

It was a lot of fun.

But the Brandinis aren't

exactly slacking off.

No, we aren't,

but, uh, things sure aren't

what they used to be.

Yeah, that factory does

seem to follow some guidelines

that are fairly strict with

their formulas and regulations...

That's it precisely.

Manufacturing has

become just too,

I don't know, too manufactured.

Back in my prime, I

really got my hands dirty.

That reminds me.

Look what I found.

Wow.

That takes me back.

Oh, man, we had a

lotta good times.

I really miss those days.

So what do you

think of our latest batch?

Mm, it still lacks pizzazz.

And we need to work

on our overall design,

the judges take the overall

package into consideration.

Brandini's is just so perfect.

I mean, look at

this presentation.

Yeah, but it's what's in the

bottle that really matters.

And Jake must be worried,

I mean, he did take your class.

I know.

I can't believe he had the

audacity to look me up online.

I mean, he must've

been really bored.

Uh,

you logged into my account

to look him up two

days ago, so...

That, that was different,

that was for corporate research.

None of them are just right.

- One, and two,

- Two, three, four, five,

- and three, and four, and...

- six, seven, eight.

It's an eight count.

No, it's one, and two,

and three, and four, and.

How's the submission

going, honey?

Um, well, we've narrowed

it down to these options,

but I...

I don't know which

one to choose.

Maybe you guys could

tell me what you like.

- Oh, sure.

- Yeah.

Okay, um, the first

one is more woody,

and for this one, we

incorporated floral hints.

Oh, my goodness me,

that is fantastic.

I like the taste of that one,

I can totally

serve that with food.

That is so robust.

I don't know, it

really depends on how...

You know what,

you are the expert,

you will know which

one to choose.

Yeah, I guess so.

- Oh, yeah.

- And remember,

Grandpa will be home

in a couple of days.

- Right.

- He wouldn't miss the contest

for the world.

Right.

We got dance class,

so, it's salsa day.

But listen, honey, you've

got two winners there.

They're both fantastic,

you are k*lling it.

Yeah?

The rosemary infused in

this batch made it unbalanced.

And this is too strong.

Back to the drawing board.

So if you guys start with

that section over there,

that'd be great.

All right, you all know

what to do, thanks, guys.

Hey, um,

I think we should use

the olives from today

in our next trial.

Okay, but as you know, they've

been on the trees longer,

so they will have a different...

Good morning.

Hi.

What, what brings you by?

I was, uh, wondering if I

could help out with the harvest?

Seriously?

Why here?

Well, the Brandinis,

we use industrial

machines for the harvest,

you guys do it the

old-fashioned way, the true way.

Still, I don't

think it's a good idea

for you to be out here.

Well, you said yourself I

should try a day in the field.

Challenge accepted.

Besides, I went into town

and rustled up proper attire.

Those boots are so pristine,

you could be in a catalog.

Oh, be nice,

I think he looks sharp,

almost authentic even.

Thank you, Adam.

So, what do you say?

Can I stay?

You promise to behave?

Alrighty then.

You can shadow me.

Yes!

Are you suggesting I

have delicate hands.

Oh, come on, don't

be so sensitive.

See, we all wear gloves.

Okay then.

Thank you.

Oh, uh, before we get started,

found something I think

you'll get a kick out of.

Look at that.

Wow.

You know, I forgot there was

a time when our grandfathers

actually used to work

the land together.

Pretty cool, huh?

Yeah.

I'll, um,

I'll show this to my grandpa

when he gets back into town,

I'm sure he'll love it.

Sounds good.

All right, let's get these

protective gloves on.

What do you think?

Am I a natural in

the making or what?

Not exactly.

Here, okay, I'll show

you how it's done.

If you take the branch like

this, and then go like that,

you actually get it

done a lot faster.

Thanks.

Yeah, you take that tree.

- Got it.

- Um, I will be over here.

- You get that one.

- Yeah.

Great.

How'd you do?

It went pretty

good, almost full.

Whoa, you really are a pro.

Yeah, well, you know,

running a ranch is so much

more than just picking olives.

I have to get better

at managing the books.

You know, I'm trying to

improve my business acumen.

Well, the guys at the ranch,

they have a program for that,

I can send it to you.

Really?

Yeah, done.

Thank you.

Thanks for today.

You're a pretty good teacher.

Well, you turned out to

be a pretty good student.

Quite helpful, so, well done.

Oh, don't go soft on me,

I won't know how to react.

Okay.

Oh, ow, okay, that's more

like the Nicole I remember.

So, staying on the ranch

must be way different

from what you're used

to in San Francisco?

You have no idea.

Do you ever get out that way?

Yeah, yeah, I drive

out pretty often,

- I go to a lot of Giants games.

- Really?

Well, my firm, we

get season tickets.

I should take you

to a game one time.

You and, you and Adam.

That would be amazing.

Yeah.

Okay, um,

you know, I should get

these cleaned and processed

before they turn.

You're a machine.

I gotta rest up

for the big race.

Wait, you're doing

the Cornucopia 500?

You know it.

See you at the finish line.

If you're lucky.

Challenge accepted.

Uh, keep 'em, for next time.

Ladies and gentlemen,

boys and girls,

welcome to the Cornucopia 500!

Racers, no bumping, pushing,

grabbing, or shoving.

You taking notes?

Always.

We want a clean race.

Hey.

Three laps for the win.

Racers, start your engines.

On your marks,

get set,

go!

No!

Eat my dust.

You're never gonna catch me,

- no, no, no.

- Oh, yeah?

Woo!

Yeah.

You're not gonna win.

No!

How does my dust taste, huh?

Jake is in the lead.

Oh, Nicole's creeping up.

This is a close one.

One lap to go.

Racers, it's your final lap.

Woo!

No way.

Good try, but not gonna happen.

Coming around the bend now.

No, no, what are you doing?

Up to the finish line.

What are you doing? No!

No way!

That is not fair!

Hey, no fair, he

said no grabbing,

you totally broke the rules.

You and your rules.

Hey, congratulations.

Oh, thank you.

Everybody's gonna

go for drinks later.

Yeah, you wanna come?

Um, you know, I'm

gonna sit this one out.

You guys have fun.

Uh, congrats.

Okay, thanks.

Check this out.

Wow.

You know what?

I think I love it.

But, you know, the contest,

it's only four days away,

and we aren't gonna win just

because of an interesting font.

Well, we aren't going to lose,

you keep saying that

this is our year.

I know.

But it is, it's more

than just a contest,

it's the company's

future at stake.

Right, so let's get

back to work, champ.

Champ.

Yeah.

Oh.

That's gonna leave a mark.

Hey.

Yeah.

It's good timing, really.

It seems, um,

my bike had different ideas

about me fixing its chain.

Well, you have to approach

a bike with determination,

otherwise, why would it

let you climb aboard?

You know, you may have

been a better cyclist,

I mean, back in the day,

but even I know

you're mocking me.

I am.

But maybe I can, I can

show you what to do.

Be my guest.

So, you just attach

the chain here,

and once it's hooked, pull it

through, and you're all set.

There's nothing to it.

For me, at least.

Your steed awaits.

Much obliged.

You, uh, do you wanna join me?

I could, uh, we could

go around the bike path.

The bike path?

Yeah, the, uh,

famous Brandini bike path.

I could, uh, I could

show you around our side.

You know, in all these years,

I've never properly

visited Brandini's.

I'll admit, I've been curious.

Well, you let me

join your class,

the least I can do

is give you a tour.

Okay.

Nicole is so stressed.

Yeah, Jake is too.

He won't admit it,

but I can tell.

Yeah, those two.

You see the way they

look at each other?

Oh, yeah.

It's so obvious.

Yeah.

Yeah, I, uh, I better

get back to the ranch.

Are you, uh,

going to the concert

tomorrow night?

Yeah, you bet I am.

I'll see you there.

Thank you.

Yeah, take care.

Come on,

there's no way you could prefer

pizza over a steak dinner.

You haven't lived until

you've tried my Chateaubriand.

Is that like a cheese steak?

All right,

you know what, I give up.

Well, maybe you can

make it for me sometime

and show me what I'm missing.

Okay, fine, as long as you

bring the bread and olive oil.

Hey, um,

how is your submission for the

contest coming along anyway?

Uh, pretty good, I think.

We've been working really

hard, I learned a lot.

How about you?

Oh, it's, uh,

it's a masterpiece.

Do you ever wonder what

it would've been like

if your granddad hadn't walked

away from the partnership?

Walked away?

That is not how I

would describe it.

What?

Raphael went behind his back

and started making

deals without him,

how else should my

grandpa have reacted?

Wait, that's what Frank says?

According to my granddad,

Frank wouldn't listen to reason

about expanding the

business, together.

No wonder you think

such terrible things

about me and my family.

What do you mean?

No, I don't.

I heard you.

The last summer you spent here,

I was waiting for

you by the border.

And?

And you were with

your dad, so I hid.

I didn't want you

getting in trouble

for hanging out with me.

And that's when I

heard you complaining

about how annoying I was.

That doesn't sound right,

what specifically did I say?

That you couldn't

stand being around me,

and you were very firm.

I think you misunderstood.

I was talking about

my summer tutor.

Are you sure?

Definitely.

She was always giving

me extra homework.

I mean, who does

that? That's cruel.

Yeah, it is.

I never woulda said that

about you, or your family.

Oh.

After all this time, I can't

believe I had it wrong.

And that's why you

stopped coming to meet me.

I never understood what I

did to make you so upset.

Jake.

Oh, we've been spotted.

Hey, Granddad.

Nice to see you, Mr. Brandini.

Oh, hello, Nicole.

This is incredible.

Oh, personally, I think

it's a little ostentatious,

but my son said it would

be good for the brand.

Jake was just telling me

about all the gourmet meals

he likes to prepare.

Oh, so you've

upgraded from takeout?

Uh, okay,

so I don't have time to

wile away in the kitchen,

but I can actually make

a few signature dishes.

Mm.

And I was gonna

bring you some of my oil.

Uh, speaking of your oil,

I sampled some of the batch

that Jake made in your class,

you really know

what you're doing.

Well, I learned from the best.

That you did.

Frank should be

very proud of you,

you definitely

inherited his gift.

That is, that's very

kind of you to say.

It's true.

And on that note, I

should get back to my work.

Yeah, me too, got

a competition to win.

Yeah, you sure about that?

Yeah, speaking of competitions,

race you to the post.

All right, you're on.

See you later.

You're not gonna beat me today.

Not again.

No, no, no, get back here.

This is not fair!

Mm-hmm, this one incorporates

the lemon flavor.

Mm, it isn't half bad.

Guess I might be a real

Brandini after all.

Okay.

Adam, how's it going?

I think we're getting

there, it's going pretty good.

Oh, well, look who it

is, the famous Brandinis.

Are you enjoying the festival?

I, for one, am looking forward

to finally putting our

reclaimed land to good use.

What are, what are

you trying to say?

I think, um,

what he meant to say is that

the Cabellas have

untapped potential.

Unlike Brandini's,

Cabella's not all

about the bottom line.

Well, perhaps that's

part of the problem.

Well, I just wanted to say

I was very impressed by

your accounting program.

You showed her our system?

It's just an accounting tool.

Let's go.

We'll see you at the contest.

It's okay.

Have you forgotten

that this contest

determines Cabella's

entire future?

What?

No, of course not.

All I'm saying is you're

starting to act like

he's no longer the villain.

All I'm saying is

maybe he isn't as bad

as I originally thought.

Hey, Adam?

Yes?

I was thinking

maybe we should submit

something more traditional.

You can't be serious?

We finally tweaked the recipe

and now you wanna

start all over again?

I don't know, it

could be interesting.

If you wanna wow the

judges and compete with Jake,

we're gonna need to present

something with a modern edge.

Yes, yes, yes, you're right.

Just forget I said anything,

let's finalize the

recipe we have.

I think

that's it.

Great job, guys.

Everything all right?

I don't know, you tell me.

Mm.

What do you think?

It's our signature flavor

with a hint of lemon.

Is that pepper I'm detecting?

Your senses do not

deceive you, Granddad.

You still got it.

We could win with this.

But, uh, is winning

really everything?

Well, what do you mean?

I don't know,

what about discovering what

really makes you happy?

Didn't you say you

miss the good old days,

when you and Frank

first started the ranch?

Yeah.

You ever consider making amends?

He's not interested in that.

You sure?

Honeys, I'm home.

Grandpa!

You're back, hey!

Hey.

How was the trip, Frank?

Ah, plenty of time

to recap all of that,

tell me what's been going on

with this border situation.

Uh, we will know

in a couple days.

I'd give anything

to show that Raphael

who the real talent is.

He's actually been

really sweet to me.

Jake has been quite reasonable

about everything too.

What?

Did I come home to an

alternate universe?

I'm serious, Grandpa.

Have you ever properly

sat down with Raphael

to hear his side of the story?

Now why on earth

would he do that?

I'm afraid, my dear,

Raphael and I have nothing

to say to each other.

I just think it's possible

we've misconstrued things.

What are you suggesting?

That the Brandinis

might not be so bad.

Hey, Julie.

Yeah, I've had a good visit,

but I'll be back Monday.

Listen,

have you considered

offering a settlement

on the copyright case?

I understand.

Full steam ahead.

Hi, thank you.

How you doing?

Good to see you.

Hey, Nicole, there you are.

Hey.

Oh, I'll just take

one, please, thank you.

Oh, ladies first.

I'll take the next one.

You sure?

Yeah, it's fine.

Okay.

Don't be absurd.

What?

Yeah, plenty of room.

What's going on?

Whoa, okay.

Thank you, thank you for that.

It sure is beautiful out.

Hm, Sunset Valley

has its moments.

It sure does.

You excited to go home?

Yeah, it'll be nice to go

back to the grind, I guess.

Is there, is there

someone to get back to?

Nah.

To be completely honest,

I'm spending so much

time with my clients,

I really haven't had

time for anyone else.

How about yourself?

Pretty focused on my career too.

You're lucky.

You've always known

what you wanted to do.

Yeah, always, running Cabella

Oil, just like my Grandpa.

And it happened.

You are boss lady.

Yeah, for the

next few days at least.

What's that supposed to mean?

Have you already forgotten

about our little wager?

No, but, I mean, even

if I win, you know,

you can always expand on a

different part of the ranch,

right?

We'd have to build from scratch,

and we don't have

the capital, so...

Why didn't you say anything?

Come on, would

it have made a difference?

Plus, I wanna win or

lose, fair and square.

Um, I'm gonna go get us

all a drink at the bar,

uh, Adam, you wanna come?

You got it.

Sorry.

It's okay to like her, you know?

Nicole?

I do like her.

I mean, like her like her.

But she's dating Adam.

She's not dating Adam.

Jake.

Oh, hey, Granddad.

Come on, let's go find a seat.

Yeah.

Here, right here.

Okay, cool.

- Uh...

- Hey there, how are you?

How are you?

Doing good.

Hi.

Hey.

Um, you know what, uh, can

you, can you give this to Jake?

I should sit with my parents.

Yeah, no problem.

- Got it?

- Yeah.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

All right, we're gonna slow

things down a little bit now.

I think they're

playing our song.

Ask the girl to dance already.

May I have this dance, Nicole?

I'm a, I'm a really bad

dancer, two left feet.

That's perfect, I

have two right feet.

It's really easy, okay?

Okay.

Give me your hand, right here.

Okay.

And this hand goes out.

Nice, wow.

Look at me.

Yeah.

Oh.

Well, that was

quite the evening.

Yes.

Yeah, it was nice.

I'm sorry,

are you calling the dance that

you shared with Jake nice?

One song, there's nothing to it.

Nicole, come on, it's me,

you don't have to pretend.

I know there's something

going on between you and Jake,

just admit it.

Look,

I mean, I am glad we cleared

the air after all these years,

that's all.

Oh, besides,

come on, he lives

in San Francisco.

San Francisco's

only a drive away.

You won't believe it.

What's gotten into you, son?

You have to look at the

documents I just found.

It could make all

the difference.

Stop pestering me,

and let's get back

to the task at hand.

Tomorrow is judgment

day, literally.

Fine, I'll pester you later.

Okay, good luck.

I'll be going into town

to run some errands later.

What's this?

Our final entry?

Final entry.

Thank you, for everything.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

Sure you wanna do this?

If we wanna really win,

it's the only thing to do.

I'm proud of you, Jake.

That's your winner, is it?

I hope so.

Well, you better put

that somewhere safe,

the Brandinis are

liable to interfere.

Come on, are you saying they

would sabotage the contest?

That's ridiculous.

If the shoe fits.

According to this

partnership agreement,

October 12th, 1976.

Well, it appears you are

absolutely right, Jake,

and I'll take care of

the construction

permit this afternoon.

Thanks, Judge.

- Mm-hmm.

- I look forward

to finally resolving this issue.

Consider it done.

Well, I'll see you

after the contest.

Yes, you will.

I've gotta run.

Thanks.

Okay.

Oh, hello, Nicole.

Hi, Judge Monroe.

Hi.

Hi.

What, uh, what's going on?

Oh, uh, you know, just

taking care of some business.

Yeah, I saw you

talking to Judge Monroe.

Yeah, it was just, you

know, um, zoning ordinance,

construction permits,

that kinda thing.

Okay, and does this

construction permit

involve me and Cabella?

Wait, what?

Because it sure sounded

like you were trying

to sway Judge Monroe

in your favor.

You think I would

do that to you?

I know what I heard, Jake.

No, that wasn't what...

You know, I guess

I should've expected it,

given your family history.

Please, let me explain,

I took a document from my...

No, I can't,

I can't believe that I

thought you were different.

I defended you.

You skipped dinner.

You're not still

working, are you?

Not exactly, just

stewing, more like.

You can stew on a full

stomach, I fixed you a plate.

Thanks, but, I don't

have much of an appetite.

Look, honey, I know you're

nervous about the competition,

but we're all so proud of you.

Thanks, Grandpa.

But it's more than that,

I thought that I

understood a situation,

but it turns out I just

had it completely wrong.

I'm sorry, sweetheart,

that's an awful feeling.

Sometimes you just have

to trust your instincts.

Well, that is the problem,

my instincts seem to be way off.

When it comes to making

olive oil, they're spot-on.

Eat this food your mother

made, get some rest,

you'll feel better

in the morning.

Grandpa's orders.

Thanks, Grandpa.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Welcome to the Sunset

Valley Olive Oil Competition.

Where is she? I've

been calling her all morning.

Sunset Valley treats olive oil

with the utmost seriousness.

We'll be selecting the winner

based on a number of categories:

aroma, flavor, texture,

and finally, presentation.

Shall we begin?

Oh, and while we deliberate,

please feel free to taste

the samples in front of you.

Wait, Judge Monroe, wait!

Wait!

I have to change

the Cabella entry.

That's highly unconventional.

But not against the rules,

she did make it in

just the nick of time.

This is Cabella Sunrise.

What is she doing?

Trusting her instincts.

Here you go.

Oh, sorry, here, there you are.

This is Cabella Sunrise.

We got this in the bag.

I wouldn't be so sure, son.

I'm so proud of you.

Thank you.

You gonna go say hi to Jake?

There's no point.

Do they even know what you did?

It doesn't matter.

Hey, Billy, come try these.

Mm, wow.

Mm.

Oh, my, Nicole, this

is, this is amazing.

Thank you.

This Brandini's

isn't so bad either.

Raphael,

well done.

Why, uh, thank you, Frank.

Your granddaughter

did a wonderful job.

She must've had a great teacher.

We have deliberated, and

we've come to a decision.

Guys, no matter what happens,

I'm going to save up

and find a way to make

the expansion happen,

even if it takes

a few extra years.

That's the Cabella spirit.

And it was unanimous.

Congratulations to

Cabella Oil!

- Yeah!

- We won!

We won, we won, we won!

Judge Monroe.

Nicole, what are you doing here?

I am here to

formalize everything

now that we've won the land.

Jake didn't tell you?

Tell me what?

Oh, before the contest,

he signed a declaration that

the land belongs to you.

But, but why?

He found more documents

that showed your border line

was correct all along.

No, no, but the other day,

I overheard you

and Jake talking,

it was something about

my construction permit.

That wasn't about

you, that was for Billy.

I have to go.

There's my little champion.

What a day for the

Cabella family.

We finally got the

recognition we deserve.

Grandpa, none of that matters.

We keep misjudging things

and jumping to conclusions

when it comes to the Brandinis.

They deserve for us

to give them a chance.

Excuse me, Grandpa, there's

something I have to do.

Hey, guys.

Well, all hail

the conquering hero.

Yeah, uh, I don't really

feel like much of a hero.

What's wrong?

Is Jake really helping you

with a construction permit?

He sure is.

Yeah, all your talk

about expanding the ranch

got me thinking,

I wanna put a hotel

above this restaurant.

Jake offered his legal

expertise no charge.

Oh, no.

Have you seen him?

I've phoned him a million times.

He came over here

earlier, to say goodbye.

Yeah, he already left.

Frank?

What are you doing here?

I, uh,

thought you might wanna look

at these old photos with me.

They're of the two of

us from back in the day.

Yeah, I'd love that.

And maybe when

your arm is healed,

we can whip up a

batch of oil together

on the original press,

for old times' sake.

Okay, uh,

but only if you let me add

my spices to the blend.

Not on your life.

You never change, do you?

Jake.

Wait, you're still here?

Yeah.

I know, I know, I'm not

supposed to be on your property,

but I just wanted to enjoy

the view before I took off.

I'll get outta your way.

Wait, no, I, I

tried calling you.

My phone's dead.

It's kinda nice actually.

I know what you did for me.

Have you,

have you ever met someone

with a habit of making

impulsive decisions?

'Cause I have that habit.

I had the wrong

impression about you.

Well, I mean, first

I had it wrong,

and then I thought

you weren't so bad,

and I had it wrong again...

Nicole?

Yes?

Are you trying

to apologize to me?

Yes.

Yeah.

Yes, I am.

But, okay, I still

don't understand

why you couldn't explain to me

what you were doing

at the courthouse.

I was torn,

you said you wanted to win

or lose fair and square.

Yeah, I did want that,

but you, you just let me say

those awful things to you,

and I feel terrible.

I'm so sorry.

So, you off to San Francisco?

Yep.

To tell my boss I'm going

to resign from the firm.

Really?

Yeah.

I wanna work on the ranch.

For real?

So, um,

I mean, are you ready to put

that acumen of

yours to good use?

You know it.

So, uh, just a warning,

you might be seeing

a little more of me.

Oh, I think I'd like that.

I mean, especially,

especially if you

wear your new boots.

I think I can

agree to those terms.

Finally, a

successful negotiation.

You really are

something, Nicole.

I'll, uh, I'll race

you to the factory.

Oh, it is on.

Okay.

Get back here.

No, no.

You won.

Oh, yes.

Always.

Take in all the sunshine

Bottle up the rain

Go where the wind blows

Let it show the way

Open all the windows

Let in all the light

You can pull the stars down

Paint the perfect sky

Oh a-oh a-oh

Life's what you make it

Life's what you make it
